Some of these epochsare already closed and others are still inprogress. If we give the matter our seriousattention we shall discover two separatelines of progress and development in theknown civilized relations of mankind thathave followed the race westward and thatmore particularly concern the Caucasian orwhite races of man.These epochs and events are comprehended as follows:First:—The settlement of Abram, the progenitor of the Israelites, in the land ofCanaan.Second: —The delivery of the Israelites byMoses from the bondage of Egypt, and theirestablishment in the promised land of Canaan.Third:—The complete establishment ofthe Babylonian empire, and the reign ofNebuchadnezzar.Fourth:—The birth, life and death ofJesus Christ and the establishment of Christianity in the world.Fifth:—The Reformation under MartinFn+ner and others.Sixth:—The discovery of the WesternContinent, a new world, and the declarationof independence, and the establishment of anew nation, under a new name and title, theUnited States of America.Seventh:—The French Revolution, andthe rise and fall of the Napoleonic dynasties.The great events that have marked themost important epochs in the world sincethe dawn of recorded history, are noted asfollows:Ist. The establishment of the Hebrews, orIsraelites, in the promised land of Canaan.2nd. The birth, life and death of JesusChrist, and the establishment of Christianity in the world.3rd. The establishment of the AmericanRepublic.It may be of interest to know that Abramor Abraham, as he was afterwards known,and Nebuchaddnezzar, were both Chaldeansfrom one of the provinces of the Babylonean Empire. That in which Babylon' wassituated. Abram was selected by Jehovahto be the head and named Abraham, thefather of a race which was to be raised upfor a special purpose.And Nebuchaddnezzar, being the headwas appointed to represent a great systemof world activity which was to endure for adefinite specified term; and include kingdoms and empires of vast extent and greatpowers and authority which should rise andfall in the progress of tremendous contestsof military struggles in which each in turnshould become supreme upon the prostrateform of the other.The great purpose and end in view by thecreation and appointment of these twoseparate and distinct systems of activity,were one and the same thing, the preparation of the world for the setting up and establishing the kingdom in the latter daysthat is to endnre unto the ages of the ages,devoted to the true worship of Jehovah.One represented the head of a race thatwas to be raised up for the special purposeof introducing into the world a knowledgeof Jehovah as the true God of worship: andby means of this knowledge overthrow theentire system of idolatrous worship. Theother represented the head of a system offorces, the purpose of which was to so conduct the affairs of the world that the entiresystems then existing of world powers andactivities together with idolatrous worshipshould eventually be utterly destroyed.One was called God's people, because theythey were to, and did, represent in a special manner, and act as a medium by whicha knowledge of Jehovah's commands anddirections would be, and were, made knownto all the nations. The other was namedBabylon, because Babylon was the greatcenter and head of the systems of idolatrousworship, and was the representative of thosepowers and systems of activity that degraded mankind to a slavish serfdom in supportand maintenance of a royal and nobilityclass among the peoples and nations of theearth.We must not, however, flatter ourselvesthat these systems have yet been destroyed.They are just as much alive, just as active,and just as effectual in their operation nowas then, though in a modified and mixedform. We are now actually living undermixed systems of idolatry and Christianity.By the birth and life of the Christ thedesign and purpose of the establishment ofthe Israelites, according to the Gentile belief and understanding, was enlarged andso extended as to embrace the whole worldof human beings. And the true worship wasmore fully expounded, and more extensivelyintroduced. But the world has accepted itonly in part. It has only partially received,understood, and acknowledged Christ's mission. It has even made in many respectsattempts to improve upon Christ's expositions.This is shown by the mixture of Christianity and the Babylonian systems that nowprevail in the world; and no denominationis exempt.The world is still engaged in idolatrousworship, and is still acting under the Babylonian systems though under different namesand under different forms. But it is stillwood and silver and gold, wealth and poverty. Tt is still royalty, nobility and suffering humanity.(To be Continued)The young bride had clearly formed ideason industrial questions."I will give you something to eat," sheinformed the tramp who appeared at thekitchen door, "if you will get that ax ""Oh, I shan't need that," the tramp interrupted in a reassuring tone, "my teetchare all right."Job work in the latest and newest stylesturned out in this office.THE DOUGLAS CLUBNow Occupies spacious and elegantlyfurnished and equippedNEW QUARTERSAnd will be pleased to meet old andnew friends308 Washington St. Frank Smith, Prop.Main 4930BURR WILLIAMS RU3BELL BMITHPresident SecretaryDUMAS CLUB, INC.209 Fifth Avenue SouthCAFE IN CONNECTIONPhone Elliott 3763SEATTLE WASHINGTONDR.
